Tomoka Outpost

Tomoka state park and the Outpost are breathtaking. The Outpost has everything you need from a a day trip to camping. We're so lucky to have this gem so close.

Tomoka Outpost's a true gem, y'all. Ain't nothin' quite like it—gorgeous and packed with outdoor adventures. And let me tell ya 'bout Captain Korn, a real hoot and a holler, that one. Great guy, and funny as all get out.

They opened five minutes late (9:05) and didn’t have any coffee. Not sure what else to say…

Getting out in nature!

We rented kayaks and thoroughly enjoyed the day out on the water. We saw dolphins, and many variety of birds. Enjoyed the quiet solitude of the area.

This a great park the outpost is amazing so much stuff

The Tamoka Outpost is the most amazing outpost I have ever visited, inside or outside a park. It is far more than a camp store or an outpost. In addition to renting kayaks, canoes, and bicycles, the store owners offer free, friendly advice to help people enjoy their stay in the park. The first thing you notice when entering the Tomoka Outpost are all the plants. Add the greenery to the inviting rockers and bench seats on the porch and patio, and you can’t help but feel welcomed. Unlike many camp stores I visited, the inside of the Tomoka Outpost is bright, clean, and organized. There is so much to see that had the owner not mentioned it; I would have missed that the interior is designed like an upside-down boat. A skilled carpenter, he designed and built everything. It is made entirely of wood and has handcrafted natural and stained arches and shelves. The shelves are stocked with an assortment of food, camping goods, and recreational supplies. A recently added section has a dark-stained and highly polished window shelf made of wood salvaged from the river. It is reminiscent of a handcrafted gunwale. The ledges display clothing, unique souvenirs, and handmade goods. If you want to linger longer, and you will, you can enjoy a beer or wine on the rockers or bench seats outside. Outside the Outpost is also a great place to catch a sunset over the river.
